WASHINGTON — Two fallen service members from central Ohio are one step closer to being honored
with a post office in Dublin named after them.

On Monday, the House passed by a voice vote a bill that would rename the post office at 715
Shawan Falls Dr. the Lance Corporal Wesley G. Davids and Captain Nicholas J. Rozanski Memorial Post
Office.

The bill was introduced by Rep. Pat Tiberi, R-Genoa Township, and was co-sponsored by every
member of the Ohio delegation in the House except Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester, whose
leadership position largely bars him from sponsoring bills.

The two men honored by the bill were Dublin natives who died nearly seven years apart.

Davids was born on May 10, 1985, and grew up in Dublin, graduating from Dublin Scioto High
School in 2003. He was killed in an explosion on May 11, 2005 — the day after he turned 20 years
old — during fighting in Karabilah in Iraq’s Anbar province. He was a member of L Company, 3rd
Battalion, 25th Regiment Marine Reserves based in Columbus, known as “Lima Company.”

Rozanski was a lifelong Dublin resident who graduated from Dublin High School before it became
Dublin Coffman. He went on to graduate from Ohio State University with a degree in
communications.

Rozanski joined the Ohio Army National Guard and was deployed in 2004 to Kosovo and in 2007 to
Iraq and Kuwait. He was in Afghanistan on April 4, 2012, when he died of wounds inflicted by a
homemade bomb. He was 36.

“These two heroes put their country before themselves and made the ultimate sacrifice,” Tiberi
said. “Today we honor their sacrifice and that of their families by naming the postal facility in
Dublin, Ohio, after them. Their bravery and honor will never be forgotten.”
